Sian Kaan Biosphere & Muyil Ruins
When you visit Riviera Maya, people generally offer two pieces of advice. First, take an eco-tour so you can truly appreciate the region’s diverse ecosystem. Second, visit some Mayan ruins to immerse yourself in culture. Instead of tackling these activities separately, combine them on the Riviera Maya Sian Ka’an Muyil Experience. This popular tour will take you to the Sian Ka’an biosphere reserve and allows you to experience culture and nature. Get the details, and you’ll see why this is most of the most popular Riviera Maya tours.
Your guide will take you to the northern edge of Sian Ka’an, where you’ll find the Muyil ruins. Archaeologists believe this ancient trading post was established around 300 B.C., and while the years have passed, the structures are still impressive. The 55-foot pyramid, El Castillo, is the highlight, but you’ll also love the observation deck and other structures. As you walk through the ruins toward the lagoon, you’ll see more than ancient ruins. You’ll also experience different ecosystems.
When you reach the lagoon, it will be time to board the boat to get a closer look at the different ecosystems and wildlife. You’ll start at the lagoon, and then traverse the flooded savannah before moving onto the mangrove canals. Your captain will take you through winding channels that ancient Mayans used as a trade route. You will then reach the lazy river, where your captain will allow the boat to float. At this point, the sounds of nature will take over. You’ll be treated to singing birds, the rustling of the wind, and maybe noise from a fish or two. Your stress will instantly melt away as you tune into nature.
If you are on the hunt for Cancun eco-tours that also include Mayan ruins, this is an excellent option. It’s even better when you consider you can book a deal. Secure your deal today and then get ready for the Riviera Maya Sian Ka’an Muyil Experience.
